No offense by the subject line there but... Just out of personal curiousity, who was kinda offended by the line "...and all the little pigs have god"? I know there has to be some God believing people out on this list, and I was just wondering how you all felt about this. p.s. just heard on the radio burden is #4 on the billboard singles' chart. ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: for all you "little pigs" out there...

I know there has to be some >God believing people out on this list, and I was just wondering how >you all felt about this. um, perhaps he wasn't speaking about your god, or anyone else's god, but his own? or as an archetype perhaps? ya know, it's kinda like school prayer. i am all for school prayer as long as EVERY religion in that school is represented equally, no matter what it is -- buddhist, santeria, baptist, hindu, jain, jewish. i really can't deal with people who think that their god is the ONLY one out there... my point being, chris was talking about *his* conception, not yours necessarily, so why go and get offended? like when i say, 'god DAMN it", and someone gets offended. excuse me, i'm not talking about your deity. maybe it means nothing to me? is this making sense? - --caryn ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I got the Burden In My Hand single today (wink). Well, Bleed Together is amazing, like I expected ;) It's really fast and catchy and makes you feel like driving real fast or something or I dunno but it's just a great, great song =)_ But anyway, the real reason why I'm writing this is because I was just looking at the cd single.. the cd itself, that is.. it's the Australian version, in the cardboard sleeve.. and I noticed it has Track 4, the Birth Ritual demo version, listed as (get this) "Birth Control." HAHAH! BIRTH CONTROL? Excuse me... HAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! :) Especially with it being on an authorized cd single, not a bootleg, it's pretty funny. Birth Control... ahhh.. :) hehehehehehe.. I just looked at it again.. Birth Control (original demo) 5:50. Hahah! thanks for reading =) ------------------------------ From: GeekGirl@aol.com Subject: What a great day!! What a great SoundgardenY day it is!!( I think I'll go for a walk outside now.. the sunshines calling my name... WHOA I thought I was a Brady there for a moment! sorry!) I went to a couple of indie stores and found a couple of really good things.. I found 5 picture disk 7" singles ( Outshined, Spoonman,JCP,FOBD and TDITTL) I also got Stolen Prayers and THE BURDEN SINGLE.( and I was starting to think that I would have to wait...guess not!!) I like Bleed Togeher.... its diffrent but I like it.. it reminds me of something I have already heard... but just cant put my finger on it yet. well thats all.. just wanted to play " write and tell " Bye all.. " Sleep tight for me... I'm gone" and belive me I need the sleep!!!!!!! OVER AND OUT! Dena :)~ ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: #12...I fucked up I got a little ahead of myself with the inclusion of the SG patch, since I didn't actually have it in my possession when I posted. Naturally, when I stopped by the store to pick it up, they didn't have any more. I got the one I have on my backpack there, but admittedly that was a while ago. They may or may not get more, so #12 is hereby reduced to just the video. If this makes a difference to anyone, just let me know. Eric ------------------------------ From: oponfam@cnsnet.com Subject: Soundgarden in Chicago I GOT THEM! I GOT THEM! Tickets for Saturday November 9 at the Aragon "Brawlroom" (Oh well, you go where they go) in Chicago. Anybody else going to this show? Email me and maybe we can get a SOMMS contingent together. Toni, how'd it go with getting tickets? Whew, now I just have to be patient until then (how I don't know) Its been FOUR YEARS since I've seen them! Kathie ------------------------------ From: rea47935@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (hasswipee) Subject: "my god how do i compete with that?" i was reading an old issue of rolling stone yesterday (721), and i found this and i thought it was pretty funny considering all the smashing pumpkins vs. soundgarden talk last week. "...Like when I listened to early Soundgarden. It was all the fucking heavy metal power that any band could ever muster, and it wasn't dumb, and the guy [Chris Cornell] could sing his fucking ass off. You go, "My God, how do I compete with that?" And you go, "Fuck, we'll find a way." " - -Billy Corgan Good luck Billy. I'd like to see him *attempt* to sing Beyond the Wheel. Raul, Hasswipee, Whatever "Oh look at me I'm way cool.

I went to a Blockbuster music to get mine and got to talk to a few people in line. I have been around music fans for alot of years but I think that Soundgarden fans are just the coolest people. The woman running the BBM was diesel dyke from hell I'm telling you!! Yelling at us like a drill sargent. She limited us to 4 tix period even though there were two shows. I even got back in line to get the other 4 I wanted and she still wouldn't sell them to me. Two different SG fans offered to buy the tix for me!!!! Thanks to them I got what I needed!!!!

Brenden" Subject: Our Bands And Covers Greetings again well I'm a sitting here checking my e-mail and wondering why I got no responses when I asked if maybe some of us could send WAV's and AU's of our bands doing SG Covers and Seth could maybe put them up on his page in the mailing list section. I'd certainley get a kick out of it and I'd be glad to send my bands cover of Outshined. So Seth do you think you could put up onr or two of our bands covers a month? Do any of you agree or disagree with me? Oh and I actualy did get one repley from chris farley... Thanx Chris :) =- What are you doing here, you're not looking for a disclaimer are ya? >=) -= ------------------------------ From: minaret@ix.netcom.com (Rachel C Jones) Subject: Duct tape and other ramblings Greetings Veterans, Newbies and Lurkers, I'm hoping someone out there can answer a question I've got (Seth? Justin? Steve?) K, here it is: I was flipping through my SG stuff last night, and seeing as I haven't heard the '96 Rockline (sent to me by the Blessed SOMMS Goddess :) interview in a while, I popped it in. Anyway, one of the callers called in and went through the routine, "Guys....hey...ummm I love your music..and uhh.." there wasn't anything cool about his call until he started naming some of the SG stuff he'd picked up over the years, and he named something that I've never heard of before (and I call myself a fan ). It was a *duct tape* edition of Louder Than Live. I'm thinking, "Ohmigod, DUCT TAPE??!!" So, is this some sort of pre-wallet Chris idea? Lastly, Don, I'M GETTING YOU YOUR VIDEO--I PROMISE!!!!!!! Sorry for the delay and thankyouthankyouthankyou for your patience. I'll be in the hot tub for a while if anyone else is still up. Bring your own marguaritas (did I spell that right?) because I'm not old enough to drink. ~Flutter~ ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 230] ****************************************
